Export device configuration

[ogelpre]

Hi all,

I am trying to export the current configuration of a pan-os device via pan-os-python, but I an failing:

from panos.base import PanDevice
device = PanDevice.create_from_device('device', 'username', 'pass')
configuration = device.xapi.export('configuration')
print(configuration.items)
[('version', '10.0.0'), ('urldb', 'paloaltonetworks')]

Is it possible to export the current xml configuration via pan-os-python?

D'ooh. It was already the XML data.

To write the configuration as XML file to disk, I used the following code:

xml.etree.ElementTree.ElementTree(configuration).write('/tmp/configuration.xml')

Maybe this example should be added somewhere?
